Chords and Lyrics

VERSE 1
Gsus       G
When the night comes
                    Gsus  G
When you're all alone
Gsus          G          Em           D
When there’s trouble stirring in your soul
   Gsus         G           Gsus    G
And if your world is falling apart
Gsus     Dsus         D               G
Just hold on for the morning break to dawn

CHORUS 1
         C       D       G
Come and lay your burdens down
    C         D            G
To the place where freedom is found
    C         D         Em
At the feet, at the feet of Jesus
     C         D       G
Come and lay your burdens down

VERSE 2
      Gsus      G           Gsus    G
When the deepest sorrow weighs on your heart
                G           Em
When you’ve prayed for answers but the answers 
       D
never come
    Gsus   G       Gsus G
For every tear that you cry
            Dsus          D             G
There’s a promise He will make your burdens light


BRIDGE 
          Em D C G/B | C - - - 
Lay them down
          Em D C G/B | Am - - - | D - - - |
Lay them down

VERSE 3
     G        Gsus     G
When we see him Him face to face
    G          Em      D
All our worries will surely fade away
Gsus       G        Gsus     G
In the presence of His glorious light
            Dsus         D              G
We’ll sing hallelujah to the one who gave us life

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2
      C        D       G
Come and lay your burdens down
    C          D        G
To the place where freedom is found
        C         D         Em
At the feet, at the feet of Jesus
      C        D       G
Come and lay your burdens down
      C       D       G
Come and lay your burdens down
